This chemical composition is inspired by the SmartGRIP compound, used for mountain bike tires, while reducing rolling resistance to improve performance on the road. Although there is a slight compromise in grip, this compound ensures balanced and predictable performance on different types of of land.

TechWALL Gravel Envelope

Pirelli has cleverly merged road tire reinforcement technologies with mountain bike tire technologies to create the most advanced casings for gravel. By integrating fabric reinforcements and additional rubber layers in strategic areas, the TechWALL Gravel Improves puncture resistance. On the road, punctures mainly come from sharp objects, while on the trails, side cuts are more common. That's why the TechWALL casing, with its tough 120 TPI fabric, covers the the entire tire while maintaining a smooth and pleasant ride.
